Topics of Interest to Faculty and Staff

This web page is designed to be of use to full time faculty and other instructional staff, including lecturers and adjuncts. There are many legal issues that intersect with the day to day activities of faculty members. The Office of General Counsel practices a preventive law approach. We encourage faculty and staff to read the Universitypolicies that will assist them in properly performing their work. The policies in the box at right are just a few of the many policies that may impact your work. Please note these polices affect both your rights and responsibilities.

Each of the headings below links to additional resources such as waiver and release forms, contract templates for independent contractors, links to relevant university policies and OGC memoranda, guidelines and other similar materials. Feel free to contact the Office of General Counsel at tel. 202-319-5142 for legal questions.
